I didn't want to like this knife. Yes, I am a prideful American. A friend recommended this knife to me for EDC and I really didn't want to like it. It is really a simple and elegant design. All the edges are chamfered for nice smooth overall look and feel. The bearing and action are nice and smooth as well. The pivot did come a little tight; took a little more effort than expected for it to fully open. A quick adjustment of the pivot screw fixed that though and now it flips open super smooth and with little effort. The drop point blade is high quality steel with a hollow grind and comes quite sharp from the factory. I love the shape of this blade. The clip is probably the only downside to this knife. It is rather soft metal and should not bend as easily as it does. This isn't a problem for me personally as I always remove the clips from my knives anyway, but for others this may be worth considering. It's not the worst clip in the world but it should be noted that it doesn't have much spring to it and it can bend if pushed to far. I would rate the clip as perfectly mediocre; it works as intended. Last thing I'll mention is that the blade is just under 3 inches long, which is the max allowed at my work, so it is the perfect size for me personally. Overall I'll give the CIVIVI Elementum 5 stars.

This blade came highly recommended after I'd done my research on the web. Watch the video that l comes with the rest of the ad about this knife on Amazon. What you're seeing in that video is the knife that you're going to get. It's a nice little knife and for everyday carry, it's more than adequate. There are certain aspects of the design of course that the average person is going to say are not quite what we need but not in this price category. It's worth what they're charging. It seems smaller than the knife we're seeing online, and it's not quite as solid maybe than what we'd like to have. But the blade itself is super Sharp, it's well engineered, and for what I paid it's actually in my book worth more than what they're charging. Yes I will probably end up replacing it for everyday carry. But then it will go into my collection to stay forever. You can't argue with a well-made blade and that's what this is. When you get it you're going to find out real fast then it's razor sharp and crafted from quality steel. They put a lot of into this knife when it comes to utility. Just remember it's going to hold that edge on the blade for a long time. And for everyday carry, we all know that a good blade just needs a nice sharpening once a while. So make your purchase of this very well engineered knife. I'll tell you one thing ... you won't regret it.

First, let me say that this is a good knife for everyday use. It's been my daily carry for over a year, and I have no plans to replace it. It's small with good ergonomics and cutting performance. The lockup is good with no play and the mechanism is adjustable. The jimping is something I find especially nice with a perfect rounding to the edges so as not to be excessively abrasive. The downside of this knife is that there's nothing particularly exciting about it. Nothing about it is "cool". I personally don't care too much about the latter so it's a good fit for me.In summary, if you're in the market for a basic and simple knife with a three inch or less blade it's a good workhorse. If you want something "cool" and exciting keep looking.
